The Department of Transportation is committed to providing safe, reliable, and efficient transportation services for LCS students. Our bus drivers are often the very first LCS employees to greet the children each morning and the last ones to see them at the end of the day. We’re proud to provide a friendly face and a safe environment to begin and end our students’ days.

We oversee the operation and maintenance of a fleet of school buses and other vehicles, including 25 electric buses, ensuring that each one meets rigorous safety standards. Responsibilities include route planning, scheduling, and coordination to ensure timely pick-up and drop-off services for students. The team also manages driver training and certification, preparing drivers to transport students safely. In addition to daily transportation services, we provide logistical support for extracurricular activities, field trips, and special events, meeting transportation needs for school-related activities. We work with parents, schools, and community members to address concerns and improve services continuously.

Use SchoolFinder to search for your street address to find out where you student is zoned to attend.
